There is actually no setting for what you suggest, although does sound interesting I can see making such an option available, but I would point out that a continuously spinning Circle Dock will run up system utilization. Something to keep in mind.

Knowing this; do you think it would be a good option???An elective setting that will spin the dock, while teh mouse is away from the dock???

Well, anything will run on my computer fine. I mean, it's just an add on, so if a user with a computer can't handle it, then they have the choice to disable it.

I kind of want my Windows to feel like a whole new OS, not a mac or a linux, but something unique.I chose circle dock to be the desktop because it looked like a futuristic style of a OS

My circle dock is positioned on the lower left, so all the icons can't be seen unless you scroll with your mouse or use the arrow keys.I want the dock to continuously rotate, so that i can wait for my icon to appear to click it, or if I don't want to wait, I can put my mouse over the dock and scroll to make it rotate faster.

Anyway, that's just my vision.

A spinning dock would be a great addition to the 2010 version of circle dock, in my opinion.I just don't know how to code. :/

I will look into this but promise nothing. I foresee several problems though this first of which is distraction: a constantly moving part of the screen is going to attract they eye. The second is speed related: the more Dock Items a dock contains, the longer it takes to paint the Dock. And thirdly it will be a drain on CPU resources - you certainly wouldn't want to enable such a feature on a Netbook!

Aren't the icons "objects"?And can't you make the objects change x,y?Cuz when my friend worked on some coding, he had objects move around the screen and that barely drained a thing...Well, I don't really have the right to say because I don't know how this whole thing is scripted.

But thanks for considering it... I just want my high-end computer to look real fancy xD

I have now investigated your request and, as I feared, automatic rotation of the Dock requires too much in the way of system resources - in fact memory usage rises by 500%.

Also to achieve a smooth scroll, the routine to calculate and move the Dock Items needs to be called ten times a second with an increment of half a degree: that produces a fairly slow scroll. To speed it up, say double the speed to 10 degrees/sec, that routine would have to be called twice as often - ie 20 times per second.

My initial tests were with 7 dock items in a single orbit. Two orbits of seven items in each orbit took twice as long.

My aim is to keep Circle Dock as 'lean and mean' as possible - meaning it should be meagre with system resources. Such an enhancement does not fit within that aim and won't be on-developed.
